In addition to private paediatricians (children’s doctors), there are also special, free services for school children:

• The school authorities provide a school doctor service. The school doctor visits school children in kindergarten and in years 4 and 8 of school to vaccinate them. This means that health problems can be identified and treated early.
• School dentist and dental hygiene. Children’s teeth are examined by a school dentist once per year. In addition, the dental hygiene service calls regularly and shows children the proper way to carefully brush their teeth.
• School Psychological Service. Provides help with your child’s educational, mental and developmental problems.
